Hey everyone, just saying hello :)

[Lando]

Hi everyone, just checking in and saying hello My name is Anthony and some friends call me Lando (a short and relatively uninteresting story about that). I'm a life long Star Wars fan and I generally focus my interest on Star Wars Lego (Lego shows being one of the places I've run across the 501st) but I've decided that I'd like to work towards getting a costume and being a part of such an awesome group of people

A little bit about me, I'm an air traffic controller at Brisbane Airport, married with a little boy currently 6 months old, and probably more to follow if my wife gets her way Just in the process of moving house so a little busy, but I wanted to make time to get started on this process at least

I'm thinking I'd like to work on a TK costume, and I'll have to do a bit more research, having seen some of the other threads and links, but any tips and pointers in the right direction would be appreciated. I saw about APs and I'll try and keep an eye out for any I can get to.

I suppose one question about TK costumes, does it matter how big you are? I don't mean height, more around always a good reason to lose some weight, but whether I should start on something else first? I remember a friend years ago saying he was going for an imperial guard costume as it was more forgiving in that regard
